BERLIN, May 2s.-When the Reichstag re-
opens the government will be interpeuated on
the ukase OF the Gar prohibiting the purchase
by foreigners of real property In the western
provinces OF Russia The discussion Is likely to
raise the whole question of obnoxious new laws
aiming at the suppression of Germans residing
in Russia. The property ukase raises more
intense anti-Russian feeling than the increase
OF iron duties or increase of import duties on
coal The practical effect will be the the ruin
of n host of Germans unless they forswear
of foreigners must. after this week, sell their
landed property to Russians and clear out of
Russian territory. They cannot bequeath
surrender their property to other than Russians.
A similar ukase is intended to apply to the
property or business interests of aliens in town
country.
While Russia is thus driving out German
traders and excluding German iron and
steel, the Cars Finance Minister appeals to
German bankers for assistance. The sentiment
of the country is becoming awake to pending
negotiations between German syndicates and
Russia for new loans These include the last
internal emission of 100, 000, 900 paper roubes.
The next gigantic scheme is for the conversion
of all the gold loans of the Russian empire,
amounting to TO 000 900 roubles. The Discount
Company. with the Bleichroders and Mendels
sohne, have announced new Russian per cent.
loan. Another minor scheme now attracting
the attention of the bourse is the issue Of loan
of 2,500, 900 roubles for the extension of the
Moscow and Jaroslaff railroad. This activity in
Russian financial affairs is prod ucing increased
confidence in Russian securities, and is exciting
n tendency toward speculation, but popular
feeling is likely to put decisive check on the
employment of German money in Russia unless
the tariff and trading hostiries are abated
